2024 ELECTION THREAD
The next presidential race will be here soon! Please see current Bovada odds. Thoughts?
Entering 2016 Donald Trump’s qualifications to be president were:
Failed businesses
Played a cartoon character on reality tv
During the debates he showed how little he knew about anything. Couldn’t even name the nuclear triad, just said ‘the nuclear was very powerful’
He won the presidency for no other reason than he connected with his base and everyone hated hillary. Not because of an ounce of political acumen or intelligence he had cuz he didn’t and still doesn’t have either
So other than ‘cuz black’ ‘cuz woman’ ‘cuz Obama’ why is she any different than this scenario (Other than the fact that she’s actually intelligent)
he sounds a bit better than the debate
See, now that we've dug into the details a little bit, it turns out Michelle has a CV littered with various support roles and an Ivy League degree. None of which are special.
You can do much, much better, and without the perceived stigma of having been elevated to the top of your list because she's the wife of a popular president.
Can't take any criticisms on this front even remotely serious. Its like a Trump guy in the discord last night lashing out at Fauci for being a liar.
I don't personally think Fauci is a liar, but if you believe hes a liar and hold him in contempt for it how the **** do you vote Trump?
Republicans can do much much better and without the perceived stigma of being the pick for racists, sociopaths, and morons. Yet here we are.
Its an endless void
What part is untrue, i expressed a preference, not a legal rule, how can a preference be "untrue"? IF voters in primaries matter, they voted for a ticket, the head of the ticket drops out, you have the VP nominee right there to take his place.
People in the primaries voted for Biden, not for the Biden-Harris ticket. I also imagine that most people who voted for the two of them in the general election would prefer someone other than Kamala being president -- it was mostly a vote of Biden not being Trump than of wanting Kamala anywhere near being actually in charge.
Anyone recommending Michelle Obama for POTUS is just not a serious person.
Sleeping with the POTUS does not qualify you to become POTUS, and it would be the most blatantly pandering nomination in history. It might work because the alternative is Trump, but not because of anything special about Michelle Obama.
You can pick any other warm body to win against Trump, so why not choose someone that can do something for you after Jan 21st in ter
She is not qualified but she is more qualified than both Biden and Trump due to her mental acuity and her moral compass. She is a better person and a better American than Trump or Biden. Her only flaw is that she was married to Obama and it’s a bad look to have a King rule and then his wife Rules later on as “king”
This is kind of like those "What is a woman?" questions. Define "woman" without using the word woman.
Explain why Michelle Obama is qualified for POTUS without using the word Trump.
I don't actually want you to do this, but it's the angle you and others should be looking at it from. Trump is a bozo. Fine. Stop using, "They aren't Trump" as your primary qualifier for someone to oppose him because all that is is an attack against Trump, whi
She’s more qualified than Trump or Biden and she’s a better person which makes her a better candidate
Winning presidential primaries, which is usually what qualifies you for the nomination.
Then winning national elections which is how you become president.
Voters voted in democratic primaries. And Biden run with Harris as his VP in primaries afaik.
If Biden decides to drop, in a normal world where voters preferences matter, Harris should be the candidate.
In America the DNC and RNC choose the candidates. Winning the primaries doesn’t matter. It’s for show. This has been decided in court if you wanna argue about it.
Never forget Michelle Obama could just keep Kamala Harris as VP. If nothing else, that saves a lot of face/problems with transition.
Not cheering that by any means, just an observation on how these jackals may be thinking.

Trump lies don't materially deteriorate their lives.
Fauci lies caused endless destruction of society
Luciom, there's nothing in Biden's proposal explicitly applicable only "to black families". Where did you get that idea? Respectfully, Supposn
Excerpted from link: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-state...
"... First-time homebuyers would qualify for an annual tax credit of $5,000 per year for two years, for a total of $10,000.
The one-year tax credit for current homeowners would be available to people who own starter homes, defined as homes below the median home price in their county. The owners would have to sell to another owner-occupant, rather than an investor, according to the White House.
Both tax credits are geared toward "middle-class families," with the Biden administration official telling CBS MoneyWatch that the credits would be limited to households earning less than $200,000. ...”.

He said it was black people
Stop hating on black people getting some help from the govt that jails and genocides them.
Black people are Americans too. That means something to us.
trump is an absolutely terrible president, but a decent "candidate" if he's allowed to just shout lies and whip up his crazies.
biden is a good president, but a pretty bad candidate, especially against someone like trump who is just going to spout nonsense that goes unchecked and needs to be countered.
Im going with biden/harris staying in. Lol at newsome popping in and harris just staying at vp? What a cluster****, youd need a new ticket and thats not happening and newsome is behind biden against trump if you think polls and the betting markets matter at all.
Also, a lot of people are going to forget about this debate by tuesday.

Newsom and Harris from the same state
The fact that race is a social construction does not mean there is no such thing as black people. Im genuinely shocked someone with your level of intelligence doesnt get that after all these discussions.
After what discussions? I just saw Luckbox say that in a chat thread a few times so thought I'd use it to mock PW since he likes to be the PC police.
I have no idea what "social construction" even means in this context, I'm not particularly "woke" as you might have noticed.
I don’t foresee Biden dropping out. It’s too late for that.
